DPDF Eligibility Criteria for Students
Students in the humanities and social sciences undertaking doctoral dissertation research may apply for one of the five annual research fields named. Full descriptions of these fields may be found on this site. The program is designed for second and third year students who have not yet had their dissertation proposals approved by their thesis directors and their home institutions. Only in exceptional circumstances will the DPDF entertain fellowship applications from first-year students (such as those with an M.A. in a related field) or from fourth year students (unless compelling reasons can be made about why the students have not yet completed their dissertation proposals for approval by their home departments). Students who have completed their comprehensive/general/qualifying exams are eligible as long as they have not had their dissertation proposal formally approved by their department.
Fellows are required to be present and participate in both workshops, the dates for which are announced before the opening of the annual application cycle.
